Dolomites

It's official: the Dolomite mountains in northeastern Italy are one
of the most beautiful landscapes in the world: in 2009 UNESCO added them
to the list of Natural World Heritage Sites. 200 million years old,
these craggy, colorful, majestic peaks rise to 10,000 ft (3,000 metres)
in height.

People go to the Dolomites to ski, to climb, to trek, to mountain
bike, ride chairlifts and cable cars, explore villages and sit by lakes,
and just to look in awe at their sheer beauty. Summer or winter, the
Dolomites are a popular destination.

The easiest way to get to the Dolomites if you're not driving is by
